This is a poem I wrote this Valentine’s Day but was too scared to share :) now I have more courage or maybe it’s because I don’t give a flying rats ass about anything!

Kindred Spirits
Please do not bring me roses on Valentine’s Day or on any other occasion.
How I dread
To see the redheads
Drop in sorrow when they see my face.
Give me handfuls of hardy carnations
A pair of wicked sunflowers
Sourpuss snapdragons
Wind chewed marigolds
Drop dead lilies
And, if by chance you happen to find a lonesome flower growing out of the hard baked New York City sidewalk,
Bring her to me
We are kindred spirits
And will know each other instantly.
